Frequently Asked Questions:
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a procedure that removes the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replaces it with a clear artificial lens implant. This restores vision clarity and can often reduce or eliminate the need for glasses.
If blurry, cloudy, or dim vision is interfering with daily activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces—and glasses no longer help—you may be a candidate for cataract surgery.
Yes. Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most common surgeries worldwide, with a high success rate. At Desert Vision Center, advanced technology and proven techniques help ensure precise, safe, and customized outcomes.
Patients can choose from standard lenses or advanced technology intraocular lenses (IOLs), such as PanOptix®, Vivity™, and Toric lenses. Advanced IOLs can improve near, intermediate, and distance vision, reducing dependence on glasses.
Most patients notice clearer vision within a few days. Complete recovery typically takes a few weeks. During this time, patients use prescribed eye drops and attend follow-up visits to monitor healing and optimize results.
Attention Patients
Dear Valued Patients of Desert Vision Center,
Dr. Tokuhara is a highly skilled cataract surgeon, specializing in advanced anterior segment surgeries, including complex glaucoma and cataract procedures. He focuses on patients who need surgical intervention or are at risk of severe vision loss.
While Dr. Tokuhara offers comprehensive eye care for his own surgical patients, he does not provide general eye care or post-operative care for patients of other surgeons. When you choose Dr. Tokuhara, he becomes your trusted eye doctor for life. A Note About Ethical Care
In our community, some providers engage in illegal financial kickbacks accepting payments for cataract surgery referrals. Desert Vision Center firmly rejects this unethical practice. We follow the highest ethical standards, complying with the Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law, ensuring that your care in never influenced by financial incentives.
We believe referrals should always be based on what’s best for the patient—not financial gain. If you’re being evaluated for cataract surgery, we encourage you to ask questions and be mindful of these referral arrangements.
Choose the surgeon who prioritizes your vision and your well-being—not one chosen for someone else’s profit.
Sincerely,
Desert Vision Center
